I am not using any 3rd party app2sd...

When u partition.. n dan u install any application in phone memory.. it is actually stored in the sd-ext.. and not the phone memory..!! The OS shows that it is stored in phone memory but actually it is in the sd card ext partition..

I have some apps (games) which are of 30-40 mb each... In such case, if I dont create a partition, very low memory will b free for me in phone memory..!! And thus there will be restriction for installing apps... But now when I partition my sd card I can install any number of applications and of any size...

My SD card is of 16 GB.. out of which I have created 512 mb of SD-ext partition..

In that partition, 350 mb is used by my apps... and there is 130 mb free in sd-ext..

Now you tell me how can i fit 350 mb of apps in 211 mb phone memory?

Even If I move this 350 mb of apps using the normal method i.e. default app2sd method.. Only 60-70% of it will be moved and still there will be 30-40% in my phone memory using my phone memory..

Do you get my point atleast now? :P

If you partition you sd card than may be your free phone memory will be 150 mb!! ;) :P
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] coversnail:
I had a similar problem a while ago, in that my phone would drain even though it was plugged and the phone said it was charging. I assumed it was a ROM problem but the same issue persisted even when I went back to stock. In my case it turned out that the USB cable was the problem, worked perfectly when I used a new one.

Not sure if you are having the same problem but maybe something to investigate.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] temes:
350MB*40%=140MB < 211MB ;)

I don't need 150MB, for me safety and stability is more important than large free space.

Never tried, but I didn't know that if I make an sd-ext, my phone will use that instead of its memory without any "help". So you say, if I do a clean install and put in an sdcard with sd-ext, your methot is working, I have nothing to do (this mean that I don't use 3rd party program for setting up app2sd). It is interesting, I will try if I need more space.

And yes, I understand your point, but still, I think it is unneccesary, because if it is true what you wrote, you should have 71mb free space in phone memory.

But I don't want to convince you, just wanted to help you.

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] rushrocker:
whatever..

I dint actually calculate that much... It was just a prediction about the 40%...

It was just for you to understand..

Anyways.. You happy with your own way.. And me happy with my own!! :)

Edit: I have 130 mb free phone memory..

N the advantage for the method I am using is that I can still install 500mb or 1gb more apps in my cell (*for that i will have to extend my partition from 500mb to 1gb or 1.5 gb) and still my phone memory will have more than 100 mb of free memory!! ;)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] minachvim:
well how can we say USB cable while the same cable if you use it on pc it can connect to the phone and you can manipulate data with it!

and this is the official cable that came with the phone! the problem here in Lebanon there is no dealer for sony ericsson to go buy new charger and cable!

for now i returned to stock ROM by flashing through SEUS and waiting the battery to drain to charge it tonight so hope it won't do that again and then i'll get back to the custom ROM as soon as i investigate thoroughly this issue.

thanks you so much miracle man, if it works ;)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] rushrocker:
Dude.. will that work for me too? The above post is my problem.. will it work for me? :confused:
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] minachvim:
can you please tell me how did you partition the SD Card:

what is the primary partition you have and did you create logical partitions or not?

please send me details structure for the SD card and i'll check if the problem is from the OS and the SD card.

second why do you need to partition the SD card while you already can install apps on sd even if it's FAT32!??

i doubt that it's fully ROM Problem!

Minachvim
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] rushrocker:
Well.. I partitioned Sd card from CWM recovery..

My primary Partition is FAT32.. size=14.1 Gb

Secondary partition is ext-3.. Size=500 mb

As far as I know and as far as I have used Android phone without Partition.. When there is no partition made.. The apps are not completely moved to sd card.. a part of the file i.e. 30-40% or sometimes even more remains on the phone memory.. thereby comsuming the phone memory and limiting the no. of applications I can install on my phone..

Than I once read somewhere that partitioning moves the complete app i.e. 100% to the sd card..

So I further researched and partitioned from CWM.. and to my wonder it really moved 100% of the app to sd card..

Now I can install any no. of applications on my cell..!!

Note: I used my sd card without partition when I was on MiniCM7pro v7 or something.. I dont exactly remember.. But, MiniCM7 Pro dint move 100% of my app to sd card.. I dont know if V21 has that capability to move 100% of the app to FAT32.. Because I never Tried the latest versions of MiniCM7 pro without partitions!!
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] minachvim:
well maybe CWM didn't partition the sd card correctly and the secondary turned to be the fat32 partition if so try to switch it back on pc and try to mount the sd

hope that this would make it work
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] rushrocker:
Actually theres no problem in the partition or the SD card.. because when i came to know that the V21 is not supporting my sd card with FAT32 and EXT-3 partitions.. I switched back to GingerDX v17.. And there was no such problem on that rom..

Also I tried switching back to MiniCM7 Pro v10 where again I had no problem.. Than I found some MiniCM'9' v1.2 rom which is same as MiniCM7 pro v21.. I tried this rom too.. but on this the same problem "Blank SD card or Has Unsupported FileSystem"..

So than I went to Paul's other rom i.e. Sony Style V1.1!! And on it my SD card with the partition works great..

So according to me and my observations theres some problem in the V21 itself..
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] minachvim:
well if this is the issue then it should be no doubt as you said with the ROM or the kernel you have because i tried the ROM and everything related to the SD works fine!

i'll try to duplicate the scenario on my phone when i get back home and see if i can reproduce your issue.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] rushrocker:
Ok thanks a lot for understanding my issue.. And Thanks for showing interest to help me out!! :)

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] BPaul:
on my phone work fine.

try remove all partitions and make one with FAT32
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] rushrocker:
But, I have all my apps in the partition.. And it worked fine on other roms and also your previour versions..

And I need to have both ext-3 and FAT32 partitions on the sd card so that I can move whole applications to the sd card..

Can you please try to fix it so that both partitions will work together like they worked in previous roms!!
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] aydot360:
I'm using CM7 at the moment. Before installing was on stock rom and I had CWM recovery 3.2.0.0r5. So installed it the 3.2.0.0 recovery users are supposed to install.

But after installing, the recovery didn't change to 4.xxxx as told.

Was wondering this will have effect on the phone perfomance or that's why the radio isn't working

While waiting for paul fixing the problem, have you tried create partition on your sdcard using your comp instead using cwm, just to make sure the fat32 is the first partition and ext3 is at the last position
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] SonGokussj4:
I've been even trying to format sdcard on my computer. To FAT32. And nothing. "Please insert sdcard" if I run a camera... And I'm almost 100% positive that it has only 1 partition.

Any other versions were good (I'm now on v20) and with the same sdcard, when I install v21, it will dissapeare.

So I thing the bug is in the rom. v09 - v20 were ok with this sdcard.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] rushrocker:
Yea exactly.. There is problem with the rom.. V21 only has this problem..

Paul, hope you fix it in v22...

Anyone tried Roboto (the ICS font) yet? It's supposed to work well on all DPIs (LDPI to XHDPI).

I find that geometric sans-serif fonts look great but they take up too much horizontal space (icon text etc) so thanks paul-xxx for providing the default droid font family as an optional zip.

Short yes/no question:

If i want to upgrade from v20 to v21, i boot into CWM recovery (or i use Mini Rom Manager), make system backup, data backup, install v21 (with wiping before and so on), go to CWM again (or use Mini Rom Manager) and install the data backup to get back my settings, messages, apps etc. - is this the right way, so the "old" data backup does not harm the new version 21?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] temes:
If you do that, the result is the same if you don't make full wipe before install. CWM backup copies data partition, then full wipe formats data partition, and CMW restore copies back the backupped data partition...

If you want factory reset, use Titanium backup to backup your apps, and don't restore system data (except SMS and contacts container)!

Edit: not a short yes/no answer, but I hope it helps ;)

Temes
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] allyouracid:
Okay, thanks a lot for your quick answer (i had kind of a bad conscience about this question after reading the posts about "please help yourself and read", but although i read quite a lot, i did not get 100% certain about the wipe-/update thingy...). So if i want to do it the correct, clean way, there seems to be no way around to e.g. restore my settings, i guess. But lots of apps support to save settings, so it should be manageable. :)

I think tonight i will give it a try. The changelog states that some battery optimization was made, as well as some WLAN stuff. I could not get WLAN to work with static ip (no dhcp), whereas it worked fine with dhcp on. So i'll have a look at the new version. Maybe it works now. :)

.edit:

Yeah, helped a lot. Good you remembered me about Titanium Backup. I bought it some time ago, so now i can use it again. :)

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] nightwing369:
I thought you couldn't overclock MiniCM7Pro as paul-xxx removed the OC values from the OC setting in CyanogenMod Settings way back around the time he released MiniCM7Pro V16?? :confused: If I'm wrong, please explain how I can OC my phone (which is running MiniCM7Pro V21) ...?? :cool: ;)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] temes:
You can restore all of your user apps with data, the only thing you should not restore is system data. Follow these steps and it will be fine:

1. backup all apps with data in titanium backup

2. reboot to cmw

3. do a backup

4. full wipe

5. clear davlik cache (install script does that but for safety do it yourself)

6. install new rom

7. with titanium backup restore all user apps with data

8. restore SMS container and calls/contacts container and you'll have sms and call log

You can restore bluetooth settings and wifi aps, but i suggest to set it manually and don't restore.

All other system settings - you have to set them manually

After that charge battery to full and delete data/system/batterystat.bin or use cwm battery calibration function (does the same), then let it fully drain WITH NORMAL USAGE.

Your new ROM is ready for use ;)

Edit: you don't have to factory reset before every new versions. You have to do it when you have problems or when you change ROM.

I have been using gintonic for quite a while, and tought that i could give a try to this rom because of the new adreno 200 libs and watch myself if they make any difference.

My finds so far are, that there is no real world performance gain, games and alternative benchmarks like Nenamark1, Lane Splitter or Trial X2 dont show any improvement at all. Only Neocore shows a gain of +6 so so fps, i say "so so" because i can tell the difference between the usual 40~45FPS on most roms and the 50+FPS that i get with this one, probably has something to do with the fact that Neocore is developed by Qualcomm and its fully optimized for the Adreno GPU and it can tell that newer drivers are used, like Nvidia did back on the day with Futuremark's 3DMark. The usual lags because of the lack of memory are still here and there like on all the 2.3 roms... missing apps like Nenamark or Trial X2 on the market... and well, it looks stable so far, but not as fast as i tought it would be. I'm not saying that this rom is worse than any other, but definitively it's no better. If anyone knows if i'm missing something here to achieve higher performance on this rom, hints would be really appreciated, otherwise ill stick with clean 2.1.1 or GinTonic.

QWERY to QWERTZ problems

Hi paul-xxx,

I have problems to switch QWERY to QWERTZ ...

I used slade87's keyboard switcher.

It works only with the android keyboard when I do

it :( (physical keyboard is working correct).

But this touch keyboard has a big bug ... when I

wanna use special characters and scroll complete

down, I can't scroll up.

That's awful ...

When I've installed Esc Hackers keyboard, the change

to QWERTZ doesn't work (touch keyboard is working

correct but physical keyboard switches y to z).

Do you have any idea ?

My girlfriend uses the touch and the physical keyboard.

I hope, it will give a solution for this prob :D

All other things in your ROM are working more than great

Well, DroidWall stopped working when upgrading v20 to v21. It can't find the "filter" for iptables.

Also, the Connect Music app is great but the Clock app doesn't recognize it when clicking on the music icon.

Anyways, besides this minor issues, the ROM is just great, near perfect, thank you very much again.

EDIT:

DroidWall is working again on v21 after copying the iptables binary, full_iptables.sh (xbin) and netfilter modules (lib) from v20.

The battery lasted a couple of days with medium wifi/music usage, it's pretty good so far.

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Wutang200:
Hi guys,

I'm still on V7 of this ROM and want to upgrade to the latest V21 ROM as my battery life is ridiculous right now.

I don't understand the part where I need to flash the ftf file to go back to 2.1.1.A.0.6.

So far I've downloaded the FTF file, the V21 ROM zip file & Flashtool 0.2.5. I connect my phone to the PC using a USB cable and run Flashtool as admin after I copy FTF file to the firmware folder within the Flashtool folder.

I then try to perform a kernel flash, but it asks me to boot the phone into flash mode with a green LED. Can someone tell me how to do this? I've done a quick search on Google but no luck.

Once the kernel is 2.1.1.A.0.6, can I then begin to install the ROM?

I'm on CWM 3 still. Do I need to update to CWM 4 before I flash to 2.1.1.A.0.6?

Please confirm somebody.

Thanks in advance.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] minachvim:
Just turn off the phone then press the back key and connect the usb cable a green led should appear and flashtool should recognize your phone. After flashing kernel you can flash the using CWM 3 no need to upgrade to 4 :)

hi guys

i found something strange! i installed MiniCM7 Pro and it worked like charm but the problem i encountered is when i tried to calibrate my battery as Paul mentioned in the first post i installed the ROM i was on 100% battery charged i wiped battery stats from CWM and waited till it's empty i charged my phone again offline till 100% i wiped again and here it comes the strange part i let it empty and put it back to charge it charged to 100% then the it starts to discharge so i woke up in the morning and instead of finding my battery fully charged i saw it 19% and getting lower while the charger is connected! i tried everything to recharge the battery again after sometime it charged back to 100 when i reverted back to stock and continue to work normally. i tried to change USB cable but it was the same! can you please explain to me why charging while connected to ac adapter has been reversed to discharge while the power on the adapter is always on and it was connected to the phone all the time?? is it a bug ??

please assist as i want to install back the ROM and stuck with it if it was safe to be installed without destroying my phone.
